The transmission / reception unit 360 transmits / receives predetermined data described later to / from the transmission / reception unit 29 of the material presentation device 20.

(A2) Drawing image display processing:
Next, the drawing process performed by the material presentation system 10 will be described. The drawn image display process is a process of displaying on the touch panel 310 a captured image taken by the material presentation device 20 and a drawn image drawn by the user using the tablet 30. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the drawn image display process. The drawn image display process is started by turning on the power of the material presentation device 20 and the tablet 30.

  When the drawing image display process is started, the CPU 230 of the material presentation device 20 images the material RS placed in the imaging area RA by the imaging unit 210, generates a captured image by the imaging unit 210 and the image processing unit 220, and performs imaging. The image is stored in the image buffer 241 (step S110). Thereafter, the CPU 230 determines whether or not a captured image acquisition request has been received from the tablet 30 (step S112). If a captured image acquisition request has been received from the tablet 30 (S112: YES, step S212), The CPU 230 of the material presentation device 20 transmits the captured image (step S114), and the CPU 330 of the tablet 30 receives the transmitted captured image and stores it in the captured image buffer 341 (step S214). Thereafter, the CPU 330 of the tablet 30 determines whether or not the user has performed a drawing operation using the tablet 30 (step S216). In the document presentation system 10, the user performs a drawing operation while viewing the image displayed on the image display unit 314 of the tablet 30. Accordingly, when the user does not perform a drawing operation immediately after the start of the drawn image display process (step S216: NO), the CPU 330 starts an image synthesis process of the captured image and the drawn image (step S226), but the drawing to be synthesized. Since no image exists, the captured image is substantially displayed on the image display unit 314 as a composite image (step S228). The drawn image display process on the tablet 30 side is repeated until the power is turned off (step S230: NO), but in the drawn image display process after the second cycle, a captured image is displayed on the image display unit 314 of the tablet 30. Thus, the user performs a drawing operation while viewing the displayed captured image. Therefore, when the user performs a drawing operation on the position detection unit 312 in step 216 of the drawing image display processing after the second cycle on the tablet 30 side (step S216: YES), the CPU 330 functions as the drawing processing unit 331. Then, the line drawing drawn by the drawing operation is stored in the drawing data buffer 342 as vector data (step S218).

  After storing the drawing image vector data, the tablet 30 performs a change block determination process (step S220), a change block update process (step S222), and a change block transmission process (step S224) described below. Moreover, CPU230 of the material presentation apparatus 20 receives the change block transmitted by the change block transmission process by the tablet 30 (step S116), and performs a block update process (step S118). Hereinafter, a series of these processes will be described.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the changed block determination process (step S220) to the changed block transmission process (step S224) in the tablet 30, the changed block reception (step S116), and the block update process (step S118) in the material presentation device 20. is there. As a specific example, a case where the user tries to draw an arrow (drawn image J) using the tablet pen Pn as a drawing operation using the tablet 30 will be described.

  When the user draws the drawing image J as a drawing operation on the position detection unit 312 of the tablet 30, as described above, the CPU 330 of the tablet 30 sets the drawing image J as a set of vector data indicating a short straight line (hereinafter also referred to as vector data). ) Is stored in the drawing data buffer 342. Of course, instead of a straight line, it may be expressed as a set of Bejue curves and stored. FIG. 5A schematically shows vector data stored in the drawing data buffer 342 in association with an area of the touch panel 310 (hereinafter also referred to as a panel area PF).

  Next, the CPU 330 converts the vector data stored in the drawing data buffer 342 into raster data and stores the raster data in the drawing image buffer 343. At this time, as a function of the drawing processing unit 331, the CPU 330 converts only a predetermined area (a changed block described later) in the panel area PF into raster data and stores it. FIG. 5B shows a drawing image buffer 343 provided in the tablet 30. The drawn image buffer 343 divides the panel area PF into m × n areas (hereinafter also referred to as blocks), which are B11, B12... B1n, B21, B22. -Treat as Bmn. Among them, FIG. 5A shows 2 × 3 blocks B11, B12, B13, B21, B22, and B23 in the upper left. The drawn image buffer 343 stores the drawn image J as raster data for each area.

  After storing the drawn image J as vector data, the CPU 330 determines in which of the blocks B11 to B23 the drawn image J is drawn (FIG. 4: step S220). In other words, in the repeated drawing image display processing, the blocks that have been changed as the drawing image from the time of the changed block determination processing (FIG. 4: step S220) in the previous drawing image display processing to the current processing time. (Hereinafter also referred to as a changed block). In this specific example, since the drawn image J is drawn in the block B11 and the block B21, the CPU 330 determines that the block B11 and the block B21 are changed blocks.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, the CPU 330 converts the changed block B11 and B21 vector data into raster data and replaces it with the raster data of the blocks B11 and B21 initially stored in the drawing image buffer 343. . That is, the raster data stored in the drawn image buffer 343 is updated only for the blocks that have been changed by the drawing operation (step S222).

  The CPU 330 updates the raster data, encodes the changed block raster data, and transmits it to the material presentation device 20 (step S224). When the user performs a drawing operation but there is no change block (for example, when the tablet pen Pn is stationary on the touch panel), an empty packet is transmitted instead of the change block. FIG. 5C shows a drawing image buffer 243 provided in the material presentation device 20. The drawn image buffer 243 stores the drawn image as the star data in units of blocks in the same manner as 343 described with reference to FIG. Hereinafter, blocks in the drawing image buffer 243 of the material presentation device 20 are denoted by blocks C11 to C23.

  Upon receiving the encoded change block via the transmission / reception unit 29, the material presentation device 20 combines the encoded change block and temporarily stores it in the reception block buffer 242 (step S116: YES). Block update processing is performed to replace the raster data of C11 and C21 as changed blocks with the blocks C11 and C21 previously stored in the drawing image buffer 243 (step S118). In this way, the material presentation system 10 performs the change block determination process (step S220) to the change block transmission process (step S224), the change block reception (step S116), and the block update process (step S118).

  Thereafter, the CPU 230 of the material presentation device 20 performs image synthesis so that the raster data of the blocks C11 to C23 stored in the drawn image buffer 243 is superimposed on the captured image stored in the captured image buffer 241 after the block update process. (Step S120), and outputs the synthesized image as a function of the display output unit 233 to the television 40 via the analog data output IF 274 (Step S122). The CPU 230 repeats the processes in steps S110 to S122 until the power is turned off (step S124).

  On the other hand, the CPU 330 of the tablet 30 updates the changed block of the drawing image buffer 343 (step S222), transmits the changed block to the material presentation device 20 (step S224), and then converts the changed image to the captured image stored in the captured image buffer 341. Then, image synthesis is performed so that the raster data of the blocks B11 to B23 stored in the drawing image buffer 343 are overlaid (step S226), and the synthesized image is displayed on the image display unit 314 (step S228). The CPU 330 repeats the processing from step S212 to step S230 until the power is turned off (step S230).

  Also, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, when the user draws a drawing image J and then draws a curve as the drawing image K, only the changed block is drawn as in the case of drawing the drawing image J. The image buffer 343 and the drawing image buffer 243 are updated, and each of the images is combined with the captured image after the update.

  As described above, since the material presentation system 10 displays the captured image and the drawn image on the touch panel 310 of the tablet 30 by the drawn image display process, the user can perform a drawing operation while viewing the image at hand. . Therefore, compared with the case where the tablet 30 at hand is operated while viewing the display image of the display device (the television 40 in this embodiment), the drawing operation can be accurately performed, and the operability of the tablet 30 is improved.

  In the drawing image display process, the tablet 30 transmits only the raster data of the changed block to the material presentation device 20 by the drawing operation. Therefore, as compared with the case where the raster data of the entire panel area PF is always transmitted to the material presentation device 20, The data volume to be transmitted can be reduced, and the processing speed can be improved. Further, in this embodiment, the tablet 30 performs change block determination (step S220), change block update (step S222), and change block transmission (step S224) every cycle of the drawn image display process, that is, Since it is performed at a predetermined interval, the image display unit 314 of the tablet 30 can display a composite image reflecting the changed drawing image in real time. Since the image synthesis is also performed in the tablet 30, it is possible to reflect the drawn image on the image display unit 314 following the drawing operation. Therefore, a user who performs a drawing operation while looking at the touch panel 310 is not confused. In addition, since the number of changed blocks transmitted at a time can be reduced, the amount of data transferred at a time can be reduced.

  Furthermore, since the material presentation device 20 includes the tablet driver 232 and receives the raster data of the changed block directly from the tablet 30 and performs the process, a separate processing computer is not required. Therefore, the user can easily perform the installation of the material presentation system 10, the connection of the wiring, the transportation, and the like.

  In addition, the material presentation system 10 can perform a drawing operation and a cursor movement using a wireless tablet 30. Therefore, the trouble of routing the cable connecting the tablet 30 and the material presentation device 20 becomes unnecessary, and no disconnection failure occurs.

  As correspondence with the claims, the captured image transmitted from the material presentation device 20 to the tablet 30 in the drawing image display processing corresponds to the first information described in the claims, and the tablet 30 corresponds to the material presentation device 20. The change block to be transmitted corresponds to the second information described in the claims. The functions of the image composition unit 236 and the display output unit 233 correspond to the display output unit described in the claims, the touch panel 310 corresponds to the operation surface described in the claims, and the image display unit 314 includes the patent. This corresponds to the image display means described in the claims.

B. Variations:
(B1) Modification 1:
In the above embodiment, as the drawing image display process, the material presentation device 20 transmits a captured image to the tablet 30, the tablet 30 transmits a change block to the material presentation device 20, and the material presentation device 20 and the tablet 30. However, it is also possible to adopt other modes for displaying the captured image or an image obtained by superimposing the drawn image on the captured image on the touch panel 310 of the tablet 30. is there. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of a drawn image display process as the first modification.

  After acquiring the captured image (step S140), the material presentation device 20 acquires a drawing image from the tablet 30 transmitted at regular intervals (step S142: YES). The drawing image transmitted here may be either vector data or raster data of the entire drawing image, but in this modification, raster data is adopted. When receiving the drawing image as raster data, the CPU 230 of the material presentation device 20 stores the drawing image in the drawing image buffer 243 (step S144). The drawing image display process is repeatedly performed until the power is turned off. In the second and subsequent processes, when the material presentation device 20 receives a drawing image from the tablet 30, the CPU 230 stores the drawing image buffer 243. Update the drawing image.

  After receiving the drawing image, the CPU 230 reads the drawing image from the drawing image buffer 243, and synthesizes the drawing image so as to overlap the picked-up image to generate a composite image (step S146). If the material presentation device 20 has not received a drawing image from the tablet 30 and no drawing image is stored in the drawing image buffer 243 (step S142: NO), the CPU 230 handles the captured image as a composite image. .

  Thereafter, the CPU 230 transmits the generated composite image to the tablet 30 (step S148). After transmitting the composite image, the CPU 230 outputs the composite image to the television 40 via the analog data output IF 274 (step S150). The CPU 230 repeats this process until the power is turned off (step S150).

  On the other hand, when the user performs a drawing operation (step S240: YES), the tablet 30 performs a drawing image process in which the drawing image is converted into raster data and stored in the drawing image buffer 343 (step S242). Thereafter, a drawing image as raster data is transmitted to the material presentation device 20 (step S244). Then, the CPU 330 receives a composite image synthesized from the captured image and the drawn image in the material presentation device 20 from the material presentation device 20 (step S246), and displays the received composite image on the image display unit 314 (step S246). S248). The CPU 330 repeats the above processing until the power is turned off (step S250). In step S240, if the user has not performed a drawing operation (step S240: NO), a blank frame image without a line drawing or the like is transmitted as a drawing image to the material presentation device 20 (step S244).

  Even if the drawing image display processing is processing in the mode described with reference to FIG. 7, the captured image or a composite image in which the drawing image is superimposed on the captured image can be displayed on the touch panel 310 of the tablet 30.

(B2) Modification 2:
In the above-described embodiment, the user's drawing operation has been described. However, even when the user performs a cursor operation for moving the cursor using the tablet 30, the display image displayed on the television 40 by the document presentation device 20 and the tablet The process of displaying the cursor together with the captured image on the 30 image display units 314 can be realized. An example will be described below. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of cursor display processing performed by the material presentation system 10. In the cursor display process, the tablet 30 requests the document presentation device 20 to acquire a captured image (step S260) and acquires the captured image (step S262), as in the first embodiment. Thereafter, when the user moves the cursor as a cursor operation (step S264: YES), the position of the coordinates of the cursor position specified by the user on the touch panel 310 is detected every predetermined period (60 Hz in this modification). The unit 312 detects the information, and the CPU 330 acquires it as coordinate information and stores it in the RAM 340 (step S266). When acquiring the coordinate information, the CPU 330 updates the coordinate information stored in the RAM 340 (step S268), and transmits the coordinate information stored in the RAM 340 to the material presentation device 20 (step S270). After transmitting the coordinate information, the CPU 330 synthesizes the cursor image so as to overlap the coordinate position corresponding to the coordinate information of the captured image based on the coordinate information (step S272). After the image composition process, the CPU 330 displays the composite image on the image display unit 314 (step S274).

  On the other hand, the CPU 230 of the material presentation device 20 acquires a captured image (step S160), receives a captured image acquisition request (step S162: YES), transmits a captured image (step S164), and then coordinates from the tablet 30. Information is received (step S166), and stored in the RAM 240 and updated (step S168). Thereafter, the cursor image is synthesized so as to overlap the coordinate position corresponding to the coordinate information of the captured image (step S170). After the image composition process, the CPU 230 displays the composite image on the television 40 via the analog data output IF 274 (step S172).

  By performing the above processing, the document presentation system 10 can display the cursor and the captured image on the touch panel 310 even when the user performs a cursor operation using the tablet 30, and the user uses the tablet 30. Improved operability.

(B3) Modification 3:
In the first embodiment, in the drawing image display process (FIG. 4), the tablet 30 performs the determination of the changed block (step S220), the update of the changed block (step S222), and the transmission of the changed block (step S224). Although the display processing is performed every cycle, that is, at a predetermined interval, the changed block drawn earlier may be transmitted at the timing when the drawing straddles the next block by the user's drawing operation. In this case, by reducing the size of each block, that is, by dividing the panel image PA into a larger number of blocks (block subdivision), the image display unit 314 of the tablet 30 reflects the changed drawing image. The synthesized image can be displayed at a timing close to real time. In addition, by reducing the size of each block compared to the above embodiment, the amount of data transmitted at a time can be reduced.

  Further, after subdividing the block as compared with the first embodiment, the change block determination (step S220), the change block update (step S222), and the change block transmission (step S224) are performed at predetermined intervals. You may do it. The composite image reflecting the changed block can be displayed on the image display unit 314 in real time while reducing the transfer data amount.

  In addition, the changed block may be transmitted to the material presentation device 20 when the tablet pen Pn is separated from the position detection unit 312. As described above, the tablet 30 can perform change block determination (step S220), change block update (step S222), and change block transmission (step S224) at various timings.

(B4) Modification 4:
In the above embodiment, the material presentation device 20 shown in FIG. 1 is adopted as the material presentation device, but material presentation devices having various configurations can be employed. For example, a table to which a document table on which a document RS is placed is added, or a display device (for example, a projector) that displays a captured image is integrated. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 9, it is also possible to employ a configuration in which the mounting portion of the camera head 26 rotates around an axis, or a configuration in which the support column 24 rotates around two axes.

(B5) Modification 5:
In addition to the configuration of the above embodiment, when the user enlarges the document RS using the zoom dial 27 (see FIG. 1) and displays it on the image display device (the television 40 in this embodiment), the image display of the tablet 30 is performed. An image corresponding to the material RS displayed on the unit 314 may be enlarged and displayed, and the writing resolution by the tablet 30 may be increased. The degree of enlargement / reduction by the zoom dial 27 is transmitted from the material presentation device 20 to the tablet 30, and the CPU 330 of the tablet 30 realizes the resolution of the drawn image drawn by the user according to the enlargement ratio. be able to.

(B6) Modification 6:
In the above embodiment, the image display unit 314 is a liquid crystal panel, but various other image display means can be used. For example, even when an organic EL panel, electronic paper, or the like is used, it is possible to obtain the same effect as the above embodiment. The image display unit 314 may display a display image at the user's hand by a projector installed on the ceiling. In this case, the position detection unit 312 is provided with a camera for detecting the movement of the tablet pen Pn and the fingertip of the user, and by reading the movement of the tablet pen Pn and the fingertip, the position on the display image designated by the user is detected. It is possible to detect detection and drawing operations.

(B7) Modification 7:
In the above-described embodiment, the projected capacitive method is adopted as the touch panel 310, but other methods such as a resistive film method, a surface acoustic wave method, an electromagnetic induction method, and an image analysis method can be adopted. For example, in the resistive film method, resistance is applied to one of the two transparent electrodes used in the tablet 30, and a voltage is applied to one of the two transparent electrodes facing each other. When both electrodes come into contact with each other by the user's operation, the position of the conductive portion of both electrodes is detected by voltage. As described above, various touch panel methods can be employed.

(B8) Modification 8:
In the above embodiment, the television 40 is used as an image display device for displaying an image. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other image display devices such as a projector and a liquid crystal display may be used. Even if it does in this way, the effect similar to the said Example can be acquired.

(B9) Modification 9:
In the above embodiment, the material presentation system 10 includes one image display device (the television 40 in the above embodiment) and one tablet 30. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is good also as an aspect provided with two or more of both an image display apparatus and the tablet 30. FIG. When there are a plurality of tablets 30, they can be identified either by an address by wireless USB or by an ID assigned to each tablet 30, so that signals from each tablet 30 are processed in a time-sharing manner, and a separate drawing is performed for each tablet 30. This can be realized by processing as operation information. It is also preferable to display the result of processing the operation information from each tablet so that it can be identified in a different manner for each tablet, such as a difference in color, a difference in line thickness, or a difference in density. For example, in an educational setting, a plurality of students can perform a drawing operation on a display image using the tablet 30, and a new lesson form can be adopted.

  You may provide the switch which selects which tablet is effective in the data presentation side. In addition, the tablet may be always enabled, and a switch for prohibiting display of the processed result may be provided. In this case, the processing may be continued while being prohibited, and the processing results for which the prohibition has been canceled may be displayed at a time. It is possible to display the answers at a time later without displaying while the students draw answers and pictures. The color of the switch for selecting such a tablet and the drawing color may be matched. This makes it easier to select the tablet and improves convenience.

  A plurality of image display devices can be realized by providing a plurality of digital data output IFs 272 and analog data output IFs 274 provided in the material presentation device 20 and connecting a plurality of image display devices. A composite image obtained by synthesizing the same captured image or drawing image may be displayed on a plurality of image display devices, or one image may be divided and displayed on a plurality of image display devices (eg, projectors), and a plurality of divided displays may be displayed. It is good also as an aspect which combines an image and makes it one display image. In this case, it can be realized by including an image dividing unit that divides an image displayed on the display device by the material presentation device 20 and an output processing unit that outputs the divided image in synchronization with each output IF.
